Mitsubishi Electric Corp. has again been hit by a massive cyberattack that has resulted in the leaking of information related to its business partners.
An improved cybersecurity system was supposed to have been installed after Mitsubishi Electric, a manufacturer of defense equipment, infrastructure and electrical equipment, was targeted.
Mitsubishi Electric strengthened access restrictions to its computer network and created a new department reporting directly to the company president to implement new cybersecurity measures.
Because the latest attack again targeted a company playing a major role in supporting Japan’s national security and infrastructure, the cyberattack was likely engineered by a group with advanced hacking skills.
